Are you still seeing this with the current packages?
it's fixed in kdelib/kdebase 3.0.3-6 or newer
After specifying a host and port, I am presented with the "Remote IPP printer selection" screen. There are no printers listed, and clicking <next> tells me that I need to select a printer to proceed. (Then again, I have never used this tool, so I might be doing something wrong) FWIW, I was able to add a cups printer w/ cupsconfig: HP LaserJet Series Cups v1.1 kdelibs-3.0.3-8 kdebase-3.0.3-13
I really suspect a problem with the general usability of kprinter in that respect to be honest. You're doing everything right (i tried it too), but i can configure printers now fine with the tool (although not very intuitively) without it crashing. So i'm closing this bug as kprinter really doesn't crash anymore. :-) Read ya, Phil
